Need help choosing a solar controller
I have 6, 53 watt Siemens panels I am going to use to keep 4 100amp batteries charged up at my cabin. I am looking for some help picking a 30 amp controller suitable for the job. I looked on ebay ...

Hey Stew,
The eco-worthy does not pair well with even two 12v panels in series. It has a 42v input limit. So that's out.
The solar30 will work, but is pwm, so some power will be lost, especially if there is shading, and will require heavier wiring. Also, it must be manually adjusted down to a suitable float voltage before leaving the cabin. So that may not be suitable.
The Tracer-3215RN is not adjustable, and requires an additional remote meter. So I would pass on that, personally.
The Tracer-3215BN is adjustable, but also requires an additional remote meter. This may be a good option
This is a forested location so there is considerable shading. Thanks for the info, I will look into the 3215BN
ebay price
